I was lucky enough to get a copy of "Honour For All" by Allan A. Michie off of Ebay for a tenner . I've seen a couple of copies on AbeBooks for £130 plus!!
The book, published in 1946, is a collection of 16 accounts from various people who fought during WW2. Two of the accounts concern Arnhem, one called “The Epic Of Arnhem” by Major Jock Neill of the 1st Battalion the Border Regiment and the other called “Two Came Back” by Lt. W. A. Harvie and Lt. Philip Turner who was in the Glider Pilot Regiment. In both articles the authors tell of their own personal experiences during the fighting at Arnhem and Oosterbeek.

 

I also picked up the revised edition of "When Dragons Flew" whilst I was in Arnhem last week, and a couple of very nice men got me copies of "Cloud Over Arnhem" (revised edition) and a copy of "Zwevend Naar De Dood" (Thanks Paul & Ramon ).

 

Ah But have you all got the NEW Updated book 'When Dragons Flew' By Stuart Eastwood - Curator, Border Regiment????

I see you have!

You mean things like this.

Excuses for the flash light.
I am very grateful of the opportunity to visit the interior of the Tafelberg to Airborne Medic.

you missed out the best bit Levien, I went there many years ago with Reg Curtis, when it was still a resthouse for the padres, had a little tour around in the cellar, and as shown the bloodspots on the floor, but going off topic here.

 

Lucky devil!
